Yup, I understand that. I guess if I was on a 30 day safari and had no electricity, I'd appreciate that feature...but in all the years I've had digital cameras I've very rarely run out of power (maybe twice) - I'm usually quite proactive about keeping things charged. Do you regularly run out of power on your cameras? My brother's wife had a Nikon that ran on AA's, and it's flash recycle time was atrocious...I think that's another side effect of AA's.
